Fans Should Prepare To Witness the Most Impressive Fight in the Series Yet

In Solo Leveling Season 2, Episode #7, Jinwoo reaches the 80th floor with the episode ending just before he attacks a demon noble, yet he still has to find the entry permit to keep advancing. However, Solo Leveling’s official website disclosed the story of episode #20, revealing that Sung Jinwoo will reach the 100th floor of the Demon Castle, where he will fight the instant dungeon boss, Baran the Demon King, who is accompanied by a powerful white dragon and is by far the most hyped battle up to this point in the story.

In order to obtain the materials for the "Holy Water of Life," Jinwoo takes on the female demon "Esil" and advances through the "Demon's Castle." As Igris and Tank also level up, they advance through the floors one step at a time.

When Jinwoo finally reaches the top floor, the demon king "Baran" appears before him, riding a giant white dragon and emitting an incredible aura.

Anime fans might already be familiar with Baran’s threatening presence, as the second season opening shows a glimpse of Jinwoo fighting him, which denotes how important this battle is in the story and could be another occasion where Solo Leveling breaks the internet. That means the fight will put Jinwo's abilities to the test and is the necessary last step before crafting the Holy Water of Life to cure his mother, as he needs the purified blood of the demon king for it.
